We are truly sorry for Oxford and
Dover Fairs. The weather was Just
beastly and the attendance at these an
nual meetings were small to what they
would have been. Still no one can set a
clear day, and, therefore according to
the moon prophets it could not possibly
have been clear weather last week. This
week was clear just as they promised.
THE robbers at New Castle and Ris.
ing Sun met with warm receptions last
week. The man who entered Simpers'
store was killed by a pistol ball; one of
the men-there being three in all--who
entered New Castle bank, was desperate

bers. If such receptions are given to
robbers, there will be fewer robberies
Acommitted.
